#5I looked into this at one point, I was typing out entire codebases for didactic purposes: SQLite 3 was 120,000 lines of code, but SQLite 2 was 12,000.
So for a bit more effort you get a battle tested real world thing!

You're going to feel awful silly when he does it in like, 3 lines.

Wait you took a repo and started typing it into the IDE? Could you please expand on what benefits you noticed and how it affected your understanding of the language? It sounds like a fascinating way to force attention to the code simply reading it wouldn't.

can you elaborate on typing out for didactic purposes, please?

Really puts the auto- in didact! Very curious to hear how this worked for you; it’s almost directly the opposite of the copilot approach.
I learned assembler by typing in listings from magazines and hand dis-assembling and debugging on paper. Your approach seems similar in spirit, but who has the times these days?
